“It’s my first time visiting this restaurant, and it’s surprisingly good! I’ve tried several Turkish restaurants in the area, but the grilled meat here is definitely the best. The seasoned salad, bread, lamb, and even the fries were all delicious. I’ll definitely come back again — you must give this place a try!”

“This place never lets me down, attentive service, great food and drinks. Recommended”

“After trying many of the other local Currys houses I found Box Trees Indian. Box Trees Indian is a real gem! From the moment you arrive, Syed and his team make you feel so welcome – they are friendly, attentive, and always happy to go the extra mile. The service is outstanding and really adds to the whole experience. The food is just as impressive. Every dish is bursting with flavour, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality and freshness in each bite. Whether it’s a classic curry or something a little different, everything is consistently delicious. They are always willing to advise and tailor a dish to your taste also. With amazing staff and incredible food, Box Trees Indian easily deserves five stars. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an authentic, friendly dining experience. Cameron”

“Such a lovely place to eat, celebrated my 22nd birthday with my twin sister and most of my family. Food was delicious and the staff were very welcoming and polite. You are allowed your own drinks (alcohol) and we gave them some birthday cake to those who served us, was such a lovely place to go, for any one family, friends or partners or all three :) Recommended highly!”

“First time visit on a Saturday. We booked, as table was for 7. Extensive menu. All the favourites. The 'signature dishes' were all unique as far as I could tell, and from this I chose Chicken Chemali. Which had a sort of soy, honey,sticky vibe, and utterly delicious. Signature dish meant it came with matched rice and a triangular plate. Standard dishes had circular plates.... Nice touches included....trolley bringing food to our table included a gas hob to ensure perfect temp for the dishes......waiters asked how much of your dish you wanted to start with on your plate, and measured it out for you.....free shots at the end with a choice of sweets/after eights/aniseed. Wonderful service and a pleasant setting right near the huge free car park of Olton Station. Update 14/1/23. Another Very Successful takeaway. Now our go-to Indian Restaurant Update 19/9/23. Another excellent meal in the restaurant. All others are now compared to this one, as the benchmark. Look out for special offer when you dine in off peak. Update 5/2/24. Still great. I think the plates are a bit bigger? We were all stuffed. Saturday evening and it was packed, but still great food. Update 22/9/24. They've updated their menu. All the old favorites of mine, and some new ones to try over coming visits...... All with dish names I don't think I've seen on a menu before. Check it out! Just remember to book on Saturdays. PS, there's currently 25% off food when you dine in Sunday to Thursday”

From the moment we walked in the customer service was warm, attentive and welcoming. The toilets were immaculately clean! Good variety on the menu, you can bring your own alcoholic drinks (there is also a glass bottle of water which was refreshed when needed). Overall, very happy with our meal's and dining experience. I would recommend to all.”

“Haven't visited for some time and decided to try the Red Forte again. Arrived and restaurant was extremely busy so we thought we might have a bit of a wait but service was spot on. Food was amazing although one small let down was the coconut rice. Tasted like half a bag of sugar had been emptied onto it!! Otherwise an excellent meal at a brilliant price with friendly quick service. Will definitely return”

“Lovely little restaurant, very laid back, friendly staff. Food was amazing and so full of flavour. Will definitely be going back”

“Really great food, plenty of choice. Nice fresh popadoms and pickles. Great to have paneer as an option for each curry (a nice change from vegetable!). Really friendly staff. Food arrived fairly quickly. Will digitally visit again.”

“Went to the restaurant on Christmas day (22) for their set meal and it was fabulous. They brought out the sizzling 5 starters on a bed of onions. Followed by 7 mains plus a nan bread. The lamb shank just fell apart, it was so tender. And if you had any room left, 4 Indian sweets were next. It was a fabulous meal, filled me up and made my Christmas day. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant with it's very high standards. Always a nice relaxing atmosphere.”

“We celebrated our anniversary at Zizzi's this afternoon and were absolutely delighted by the service we received from Raluca. She was the epitome of attentiveness, kindness, and hospitality. We're already loyal fans of the Zizzi's brand, but Raluca's exceptional care truly stood out and made our special occasion feel even more memorable. We felt genuinely attended to throughout our entire meal.”
